ST. LOUIS – Testimony continued in a federal courtroom Wednesday against a St. Louis man facing multiple murder charges for his part in a drug ring.
Day three of Anthony Jordan’s trial began with a former associate taking the stand against Jordan. The associate, who is under witness protection, spoke for several hours describing three separate incidents resulting in a total of six murders.
Jordan was indicted in 2015 for gunning down nine people between April 2008 and January 2014. In the courtroom Wednesday, the associate described witnessing two murders on Feb. 3, 2010. He also described in detail wearing a ski mask and gloves with Jordan, then wiping the car down after the murder before getting rid of the car. The former associate also admitted under oath to selling kilos of cocaine with Jordan at the time of the murders.
Jordan’s trial began Monday with testimony from law enforcement. The trial is expected to take up to three weeks.
Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri have charged Anthony Jordan (aka “T.T.,” “Two Techs,” and “Godfather”) with nine counts of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime in which a death resulted, one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute cocaine, and one count of possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
According to the indictment, Jordan gunned down the following people on these dates:
- April 19, 2008 – Al Walters, Linnie Jackson, and Keith Burks
- Feb. 3, 2010 – Marquis Jones and Keairrah Johnson
- June 25, 2013 – Anthony “Blinky” Clark
- Dec. 29, 2013 – Robert “Parker G” Parker and Clara Walker
- Jan. 21, 2014 – Michail “Yellow Mack” Gridiron
Jordan was indicted and arrested in August 2015 but was only linked to the deaths of Parker, Walker, and Gridiron. In December 2018, he was named alongside eight other men in a superseding federal indictment to strike against the drug ring and charged with killing the six remaining victims.
